Continuity mistake: In the scene in the bar where Aurora discovers she was woken up, when she walks out and says to Jim "stay away from me" - she points at him initially then spreads open her fingers, but when scene cuts back to Jim a second later you see a single finger pointing.
Passengers (2016)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Morten Tyldum
Starring: Andy Garcia, Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen
Jim and Aurora discover the reason for the ship's malfunctions is that something slipped past the shields and struck the ship, damaging the main computer. Jim repairs the computer but it cannot vent plasma from the main drive due to a stuck external door. Jim goes outside and is forced to hold the door open while Aurora vents the plasma. Jim is knocked back and his tether snaps, forcing Aurora to go out into space and retrieve him. He is clinically dead but she revives him with the AutoDoc. In an epilogue, the rest of the crew awakens 88 years later to find that the inside of the ship is rife with plant and animal life, and Aurora has left them her completed book.

Question: How would they have gained access to the command ring from the main ship? The main ship arms are spinning anti clockwise and the command ring is spinning clockwise, so they're out of sync. The command ring also appears to be spinning faster.
Answer: To spin the ship on its axis, you have to spin it against something. You can use side rockets to push it against the thrust of the rockets, or you could push it against a core rotating in the opposite direction. The conservation of momentum, with the right balance of mass between the inner core and the outer spirals, will make the two parts rotate one against the other, without carrying fuel for the rockets.

Answer: With difficulty is the answer! Question is why are command ring and engine room spinning in different directions, to make this an issue?
